different game types in trial

Post by =[CG]= Jesus »

how can you make a game thats no slayer or ctf but is oddball or team slayer or king of the hill. plz help its much appreciated Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
Ok i assume that you are using the trial because those are the only ones offered in the trial. when you install halo trial it makes some playlist folders under your documents. the one you are looking for is probably here
My Documents\My Games\Halo Trial\saved\playlists\default_playlist
the folders have each type of game in them.
here is the list, each number corresponds with the correct folder

'00' for Classic Slayer
'01' for Classic Slayer Pro
'02' for Classic Elimination
'03' for Classic Phantom
'04' for Classic Endurance
'05' for Classic Rockets
'06' for Classic Snipers
'07' for Classic Oddball
'08' for Classic Reverse Tag
'09' for Classic Accumulate
'10' for Classic Juggernaut
'11' for Classic Stalker
'12' for Classic King
'13' for Classic King Pro
'14' for Classic Crazy King
'15' for Classic Race
'16' for Classic Rally
'17' for Classic CTF
'18' for Classic Invasion
'19' for Classic Iron CTF
'20' for Classic CTF Pro
'21' for Classic Team Race
'22' for Classic Team Rally
'23' for Classic Team Ball
'24' for Classic Team King
'25' for Classic Team Slayer
'26' for Slayer
'27' for Oddball
'28' for Juggernaut
'29' for King
'30' for Crazy King
'31' for Race
'32' for CTF
'33' for Assault
'34' for Team Slayer
'35' for Team Oddball
'36' for Team King
'37' for Team Race

1. Load the game as normal.
2. Click host a internet game.
3. Click on the Blood Gulch map and click OK. DO NOT START THE GAME YET.
4. Minimize the game and go to:
My Documents\My Games\Halo Trial\saved\playlists\default_playlist
5. Find the folder that you want and copy the blam.1st that is in the folder
6. Paste the copied file in the folder named '32'.
7. Go back to Halo and click on CTF.
8. Start the game and enjoy!

Just like any other weapon PMI. When done, go to the weapons tag in HMT and change User Ability to something like assault rifle or plasma rifle

13. Question: How do I activate the console? (Be able to kick, ban, etc)
Answer: On your desktop, right click on your Halo shortcut (make one if you don't have one) and click properties. Go to Target. In that, there should be something like "[harddrive]/[other directories]/Halo/halo.exe"
All you have to do is put a space at the end, then you can put your flags after that.
The flag to activate the console is -console. To use it in-game, press ~
The 3 basic commands for a non-dedicated server are:
sv_kick (player name/number)
sv_ban (playername/number)
sv_players to retrieve the player numbers.
Note: If you use the playername type of sv_kick, names with spaces need to be in quotations.
PS: for more help with the console in-game, press ~, then TAB
i did everything what is said in there, but it isn't working :roll:
must i type ~consule in game too?
and i gues i must type sv_kick 1 or is it sv_kick1

p.s. a litle noob question, non dedicated server is your private server right?

dedicated server

Post by ZedLeplin »

he said that you cant run a dedicated server and then use that same computer you have it running on and play it on
when you actually can do this
all you have to do is go to settings click on networking and then change the ports to 2301 and 2304 repectively

heres the difference between a dedicated server and a non-dedicated server:

Dedicated Server- A dedicated server, is where you are not playing, but other people are. They tend to fill up slower, but they also tend to be a bit faster.

Non-Dedicated Server- A Non-Dedicated server, is where you are playing. They tend to fill up slower, but are a bit slower.

Isnt a dedicated server a server that is on the halo list as long as you pay for it? and a non dedicated server is where you just host the server whenever you play halo and actually host one?

Question: This may be the wrong place to ask this question, but what is a .dds file and how can they be inserted/applied to files to use a given mod?

On PPF-O-Matic how do you insert the Halo ISO file? My shortcut nor the icon for drive D wont do.
Ill make a short tut because i first had problems with it.

Tutorial for PPF-O-Matic-

If u dont know what a patch read this-
A patch is a file that can be incorparated into another file.
Example:Say u are chewing gum and ur friend has a gum ball
ur gum has ur mod on it and the gumball is bloodgulch.If you put ur gum on his gumball ur mod now works on bloodgulch.
(Its a weird comparison i know i just though of it.
So basicly you can put 5 different mods on ur map if their all ppf files.
People do this so that u can add ur own mods to that map with their mods.


Now the Tut:

1.Open ppf-o-matic

2.The First box is where u will put the bloodgulch map.
So click browse or w.e and itl a box will pop up towards the bottom of that box is a drop down box that says show: or somthing click it and select all files.Then browse to the bloodgulch file(Make sure u have a backup).

3.Now for the second box select the bloodgulch.ppf or w.e map u downloaded the mod for.

4.Then Below that there is a box that says Apply.Click it. Then it will say somthing like ready to burn on cd or somthing. Just click ok.

5.Open ur map and the mod they made will be on it.

HOPE U ENJOYED THIS TUT.

I hate to bump this topic, but it seems like a good topic. That a good enough reason :?:
anyway, to change yourself in SP to covenant, go to the bipd tag. Click characters/cyborg/cyborg. Under "Default Team", change to Covenant.

Question: OK, so I downloaded a mod, but how do I use it? I see the question up there and it tells me to download ppf-o-matic, which I did, but I'm still lost on how to activate my mod.... Also... are there mods like people die the second they look at you, or a "god mode" mod?
